Grace! The power is back!

June 09, 2016 15:13 - 27 minutes - 24.7 MB

Don't be ashamed of the Good News. Don't be afraid of it. Don't apologize for it. Don't try to weaken or water it down. It is the power of God to save everyone who believes it!

Walking in freedom from everything that tries to dominate you!

The Cure for the Unstable Life

Dirty Jesus

May 19, 2016 21:00 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MB

Religion wants church to be a hospital, a sterile, germ-free environment. He wants church to be a garden, a fertile, life-giving environment. Your weakness, ungodliness, foolishness and sin are no obstacles to grace.

Finding Peace

May 12, 2016 21:00 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MB

Are people roughing you up? Are you dealing with money trouble? Are you walking through the valley of the shadow of death? Hunger, distress, affliction or some other storm of life? Why is this happening? Who is doing this to you? You can have peace!

HomoSECTuality

May 04, 2016 22:08 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MB

Will there be many saved or few? Why do we tend to exclude people who don't see things the way we do? Jesus was a gatherer, not a scatterer. We need to open our hearts to people with diverse views, diverse ministries and diverse methods.

The Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth!

April 21, 2016 21:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

Jesus is the Truth to us about God and the Truth to God about us. Like any good witness, let's speak the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, so help us God! He is our testimony!

April 14, 2016 21:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

New Covenant Part 8 - Perfect Forever

April 07, 2016 21:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MB

In Part 8 of this series on the New Covenant, we look at the perfect sacrifice of Jesus and how superior it is to the old covenant sacrifices. His perfect sacrifice (a) makes us perfect, (b) cleanses us once for all and (c) removes our consciousness of sins

New Covenant Part 7 - The Creature Lives!

March 31, 2016 21:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

In Part 7 of this series on the New Covenant, we look at God's promise to NEVER remember our sins again! God stopped counting your sins at the cross. The mercy He showed at the cross by counting our sins and laying on Jesus the iniquity of us all, has gained us access into this New Covenant and removed every obstacle to all that God has always wanted to provide for us!

New Covenant Part 6 - From Slaves to Sons

March 24, 2016 21:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

In Part 6 of this series on the New Covenant, we consider what it means to be the children of God. We have been born of God.

New Covenant Part 5 - New Commandment

March 17, 2016 21:00 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

In Part 5 of our series on the New Covenant, we take a look at the laws the Spirit is writing on our hearts and minds. Is the Spirit writing the ministry of death and condemnation on our hearts or the ministry of life and righteousness? Jesus said the Father didn't send Him to condemn or destroy men's lives but to save and minister abundant life. There, quite simply, is no condemnation in Christ. He is writing the law of the Spirit of life in Christ on our hearts!

New Covenant Part 4 - Promises, promises!

March 12, 2016 14:06 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

In Part 4 of this serious on the New Covenant, we see that our Covenant with God was enacted on precious and magnificent promises! In Christ we find that ALL of these magnificent promises are "YES". Faith in Christ accesses the "YES" of God to all His promises. Christ perfectly satisfied all the demands of righteousness. He perfectly fulfilled the Law. He perfectly satisfied every condition of every promise and set His perfect performance to our account. We enjoy His work! Christ is our...

New Covenant Part 3 - Melchizedek!

March 10, 2016 23:07 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MB

In Part 3 of this series on the New Covenant, we learn about our New Covenant High Priest and a mysterious Bible character named Melchizedek. Who in the world is this guy? What does Mel have to do with our New Covenant? Jesus' priesthood was foreshadowed by Mel in Genesis 14. It's a priesthood of blessing, communion, peace and rest.

New Covenant Part 2 - A Matter of Life and Death

March 03, 2016 22:00 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

In Part 2 of this series on the New Covenant, we look at the differences between the Old Covenant and the New. Hebrews 8:9 says the new covenant is "not like" the old covenant. How different is it? It's as different as life and death, righteousness and condemnation, blessing and cursing. The New is so much better than the Old, it has made the Old obsolete.

New Covenant Part 1 - Life after the cross!

February 25, 2016 23:14 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

In Part 1 of this series on the New Covenant, I address several key issues: Are new covenant believers carrying our crosses to the place of death? Or have we already been crucified with Christ and now sit at rest with Him? Have we passed out of death and into life? Or are we still dying or are we ALIVE?

Mobbing God!

February 19, 2016 11:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MB

Is God stingy or reluctant? Do we have to pressure Him by getting a prayer mob together to force Him into acting? Do we need to go on a spiritual hunger strike to force Him to help or heal? Or is He simply a good, willing, generous and kind Father? What does our approach to prayer say about what we BELIEVE about Him?

Do you hate church?

February 12, 2016 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

Do believers have to tolerate weekly beatings from the pulpit? Do our spiritual lives have to consist of unpleasant religious chores? How can we unload the heavy burden of shame, guilt and obligation? How can we rescue ourselves and our families from eternal insecurity and the low-grade fever of condemnation church-life can bring?

What happens when I sin?

February 05, 2016 11:00 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

In this episode we examine several questions surrounding sin and forgiveness: What is sin? What did the cross do to my sin? Do believers have to confess their sins daily or every time they sin to stay saved? Do I have to apologize each time I sin to get God to forgive me? Do I have to forgive others to be forgiven?

Tithing?

January 29, 2016 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

Is tithing required of new covenant believers? In this episode we consider how new covenant giving operates. You may find out that your tithe has already been paid.

HOPE

January 22, 2016 22:26 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MB

Faith, hope and love remain. Faith is the substance of things HOPED for. If you need a strong word of encouragement, listen to this word on HOPE. It will raise your expectation of good. WARNING: This is a full-on Pentecostal church service I preached in during 2007. If intense preaching or speaking in tongues offends you, you should skip this one. LOL

Where are the miracles?

January 22, 2016 11:30 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

In this episode, I discuss some of your questions. Why don't we see "greater works" than the ones Jesus performed? Why should I read different versions of the Bible? Is it OK to eat green eggs and ham or drink alcohol?

Who's Yo Momma?

January 15, 2016 22:30 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MB

In Galatians 4, Paul answers the question: "Who's yo momma?" He looks at Abraham's 2 wives as a picture of 2 covenants. He answers the question of whether we need a "balance" of old covenant law and new covenant grace to succeed as Christians.

The Meaning of Life

January 12, 2016 11:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? We often struggle to find meaning and purpose in our lives. Church culture can leave us always looking forward to some mystery purpose that we are never really sure of and cause us to miss our purpose right now. But you can know God's design for you and confidently walk in His perfect will every day.

SEX

January 08, 2016 23:04 - 37 minutes - 34 MB

This is straight talk (explicit) about sex and sexual boundaries. God designed sex and wired humans to want to engage in sexual activity. He wants our sex lives to as healthy, fun and fruitful as possible.

God's 3 Room House - Part 3

January 05, 2016 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

Our outer man is decaying. At the end of our days, our bodies will be sown in weakness, dishonor and corruption. Until then, we groan, waiting for the hope of our salvation, our adoption, the redemption of our bodies, the resurrection to our new and glorified immortal human bodies. Until then, we war against the desires of our flesh by reckoning the truth of our death to sin and new life in Christ. We are experiencing the first-fruits of the Spirit giving life to our spirit and producing ...

God's 3 Room House - Part 2

January 02, 2016 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MB

The Inner Court in the Tabernacle of Moses needed fresh bread daily, fresh oil and fresh fire for the incense. Our minds need to be renewed with daily bread, filled with His Spirit and focused on the sacrifice of Jesus to fuel our worship.

God's 3 Room House - Part 1

December 31, 2015 11:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

Moses built God a 3 room house. It had a Holiest Place, an Inner Court and an Outer Court. God moved out of that house and moved into you. You are a 3 room house. You have an innermost being (your spirit), an inner man (your soul) and and outer man (your flesh). Understanding your spirit, soul and body will help you understand yourself, your struggles and how to see victory in your experience.

Obeying the Gospel

December 28, 2015 21:38 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MB

What is new covenant obedience? What are His commandments to us? Old covenant commands were chiseled on stone and brought sin and death. His new covenant commands are written on our hearts and minds and bring life and peace. Believing the Good News is new covenant obedience and provides us with access into all that Christ died to bring - the kingdom of God!

Paying the Price!

December 19, 2015 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

Jesus paid the price so that we could experience all that God has for us for free. We can't buy the gift of God with money. We can't create an obligation on the part of God to catch us by casting ourselves off the temple.

Unveiling God!

December 17, 2015 11:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

Under the old covenant, God was hidden in thick darkness and no one had really seen or known Him. Jesus took on a body to show us the Father. From now on, we've seen and know Him in the life of Jesus.

Do I Owe God?

December 05, 2015 11:30 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MB

In redemption God has cancelled our debt, not created one. Salvation is free. All that we do for God is Him working through us, His grace working through, His Spirit producing the fruit of His life in us. How can we repay Him when apart from what He does in us, we can do nothing? Abandon the mindset that we owe God for salvation. It is His pleasure to save us and freely give us all things in Christ!

The Change - Week 9

November 28, 2015 11:30 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB

We have the power to change our world! We have the Message that has the power to save. We have the Spirit producing the life of God inside us so we can shine His light and let the world see God and glorify Him!

Does God Owe Me?

November 27, 2015 11:30 - 28 minutes - 26 MB

Do you ever feel like you need to do something in order to get God to do something for you? That you need to give money to get God to provide for you? That God won't bless or provide for you if you are engaging in certain religious activities? All that God does for us, He does for free! We can't buy or earn God's blessings or favor or righteousness. Jesus paid the price for us!

How to Know Your Faith is Alive!

November 26, 2015 11:30 - 32 minutes - 29.3 MB

Living faith expresses itself. It inhales what God is saving and supplying and it exhales what God says and supplies. This podcast will help us understand what the Bible means when it say faith without works is dead. James used 2 people as examples - Abraham and Rahab. Abraham lived 430 before the Law was given and Rahab was a non-Jew. Abraham expressed his faith by being willing to kill his son and Rahab by lying to protect the Jewish spies (killing and lying are violations of the 10 c...

The Change - Week 8

November 21, 2015 11:30 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

The Spirit of God is writing a new set of commandments on our hearts. He is writing the law of faith, the law of the Spirit of life, the law of liberty and the law of love. This is the changed life and fruit the Spirit is producing in us. He is producing the fearless life and love of God in us!

Church Fight!

November 20, 2015 22:36 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

In Galatians 2, Paul had to get in Peter's face for backing off of the truth of the Gospel. Yes, even an Apostle can be drawn away or scared away from the simplicity and truth of the Good News!

The Change - Week 7

November 14, 2015 11:30 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

What kind of life pleases God? How do we "live" right? How do we avoid being wolves in sheep's clothing? Who are the "brood of vipers"? Paul answered all of these questions in one phrase: The righteous man lives by faith.

The Change - Week 6

November 07, 2015 10:46 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

The process of changing our minds involves being quick to hear and receiving with humility the implanted word. This is how we achieve the righteousness of God.

The Change - Week 5

November 01, 2015 10:44 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MB

Renewing our minds to the truth of what Christ accomplished on the cross will transform our lives. A mind that is captivated by His obedience wins the war! Eyes that are fixed produce a life that can lay aside every sin. When our focus in on Christ's finished work of redemption - the death of our old man and the birth of our new man - we see His life, His victory and His power born in us.

The Change - Week 4

October 24, 2015 12:00 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MB

The word "Repent" is translated from the Greek word "metanoia" which means to change the way you think. God gives us truth to dispel lies. He gives us Good News to dispel bad news. He gives us the message we need to hear to change the way we think.

The Change - Week 3

October 15, 2015 00:51 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

We are the body of Christ glorified. When He was made alive, we were made alive. When He was raised, we were raised and when He was seated at rest, we were seated with Him. He sits at rest above all authority and power and so do we!

The Change - Week 2

October 08, 2015 02:02 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

Jesus took a body and died away our sin, the curse on our sin and the legalistic system that opposed us, accused us and condemned us.

October 03, 2015 20:51 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

In this final episode of my "Understanding Grace" series, I discuss 10 misconceptions about grace. It's not "grace but" or "grace and", it's GRACE! We need to remove the misconceptions about grace that make people shy away from what Paul called "the Gospel of grace".
